It is a joint week of sustainability and climate action organised by Queen Mary Students' Union and Queen Mary University, with the aim of "translating" sustainability, showing its importance in all areas.
A week of engaging events run by both students and staff - Climate Action Week offers a space to learn, ask questions, take action and connect with people across our community around key sustainability themes such as: Operations, Research and Innovation and Education.
From planting your own herbs and clothing repair workshops to exploring the importance of COP with sustainability experts, sustainable finance career panels, canal cleans and writing letters to the Earth - there is something for everyone!
